After seeing the recent glut of kid-friendly fright flicks (ParaNorman,
Hotel Transylvania, Frankenweenie), I knew what I wanted to get out of
my system before Halloween... The Horror Icon Alphabet, featuring all of (or perhaps some of) your favorite classic horror characters and movie monsters:

What was fun with this one is that I tried to take some decidedly non-kid friendly characters and turn them into cute letter figures. I also tried for a mix of old-school horror and more recent films while including as many classics and subgenres of horror (J-Horror, horror comedies, etc) as possible. My biggest regret is that Gremlins didn't make the cut.

I wanted to pay tribute to the everlasting appeal of the Toy Story
gang with a design based on the style of early Disney black and white
animated shorts. Just as the early Disney films were pioneers of
animation, Toy Story introduced the world to the wonders of computer
animation and the joys of returning to our childhood.
